Hey y'all! I'd say it's about time to start sharing some sneak peeks from the next update! So here's the first batch but stay tuned for more as we get closer to the release. (our Twitter, IG and Discord got to see some of these early)

Alright, here's the confirmed stuff so far

New Drills

Drill upgrades are finally going to change the actual look of the drill as well. Check out the T3 and T2 drills!

Gunner Seat

Will let you take full control of your drillship turrets one at a time but with the ability to switch between them easily.

Melee Attack

At first, the plan was to add an actual melee weapon but then the team and I have collectively agreed that this capoeira kick will fit the game better.
still a work in progress tho

Armor and Health Restoring Devices

When used, this device will instantly restore your armor (there's going to be the same exact device but for health as well). There are 4 charges, after that, you will have to wait for cooldown. This will give you a big advantage when defending your drillship.

Upgraded Pickaxe

Like the default pickaxe but better.

Item Dropping

Let's have a moment of silence for all the items that were accidentally destroyed while people were attempting to drop them on the ground. But no more. From the next update on, you will be actually able to drop them. And when you do, one of these boxes will fly out of you with the item in it so somebody else can pick it up.

Basic Steam Workshop integration

By basic, we really mean only being able to download/upload basic mods that can change values such as health, damage, speed, etc. Bigger and better integration will come in a future update later on. With this, we're just trying to set the modding foundation.

Something that won't be in the next update but I still wanted to show you

Got some new concept art for how the male character could possibly look in the future.

More sneak peeks are coming

Set in the steampunk era, you take on an expedition to a forsaken island that you once called home. But sudden eruptions triggered by mechanical beings turned the wondrous place into an apocalyptic wasteland. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, you have to outsmart these creatures and capture one of their drillships. Use their own technology against them as you upgrade the machinery and reclaim your homeland.

MOBILE BASE

Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is one of a kind base capable of joining you on every journey.

DEADLY ENVIRONMENT

Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.

MECHANICAL MENACE

Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.

BASE MANAGEMENT

Customize your drillship from the inside out with colors, symbols, gadgets and more. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.
